Topical Questions
Minister, we already knew, as local Members, that, Ysbyty Glan Clwyd is not a good-performing emergency department in Wales. I'm just sad, myself, to read the report and learn that it is now the worst-performing emergency department in Wales. In March 2022…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Reducing vulnerability to flood risk and the independent review of the 2020-21 flooding
I thank the Minister again for her statement. We know that communities across Wales from the Conwy valley to Rhondda Cynon Taf have made abundantly clear, over the times that they've seen shocking flooding incidents, that they want to see independent…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Offshore Marine Energy
Thanks, Minister. It is good that we are welcoming this new renewable energy impetus that's coming, but do you think it's enough that the renewable energy deep dive only commits to work with Natural Resources Wales and key stakeholders to identify marine…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: The Housing-with-Care Fund
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. In 2017, local authorities warned at that time that they expected an increase in demand for housing with care over the next five years. In fact, your own Welsh Labour Government published a report on the evaluation of…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS waiting lists
Gosh, right. [Laughter.] We have at least 100 consultants across Wales—of shortages. There has been no increase to the advertised 309 medical school places at Cardiff University. I could go on—

Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS waiting lists
Let's not beat about the bush: COVID-19 has not caused this waiting list crisis. Yes, it has exacerbated problems, but those were issues already present within the Welsh NHS under the remit of this Welsh Labour Government. As of January 2020—2020—12,428…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you, Minister. And I can advise I have participated in the consultation on the Draft Non-Domestic Rating (Definition of Domestic Property) (Wales) Order 2022. But I am deeply concerned that this Welsh Labour Government, but, let's be honest, propped up…

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
And are you aware of any work that's been done with Pembrokeshire and their digital broadband delivery programme team? I wonder if any other local authorities have thought to themselves—. Are they aware of how well it's—? Because I've always found there's…

Thank you, Chair. Ogi talk about the benefits of public-private co-operation, for example in Pembrokeshire. How can this good work practice be rolled out more widely?

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
Yes. A really simple question: is it as simple as just plugging your phone into the internet, or do you need a different telephone, and are those phones more expensive than a conventional phone?

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
Yes. Well, those are the sorts of questions I'll pose to Welsh Government. But the other thing for me that I find quite fascinating is that the last roll-out scheme didn't include any marketing. I felt really that I was doing the job sometimes, because we…

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
Yes. Research by the Welsh Government shows that 7 per cent of adults are not online and that access to online services mirrors other inequalities in society. I know in my own constituency, the percentage of people not able to—[Inaudible.]—the internet or…
